You can also exchange the MPLs with two MLs to save two tons and add Heatsinks:



The latter is the one I'm currently using. Also try getting some SRM volleys into another mech's back.

Switch out the Laser AMS to normal AMS if you're running too hot or don't like having to micromanage the AMS toggle button, but I favor the laser because it lets me keep up the AMS support for the entire game and not just the early LRM rain. Can also switch out the half ton ammo for another JJ if needed, but 2 is plenty imho.

Build works great as a support for mechs with high pinpoint damage so you have the option of either sticking with the firing line or run off with the lights and open up someone for the hungry piranha.]]> Wed, 04 Oct 2017 06:21:26 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/loup-de-guerre-not-2d2-4x-srm6-2x-mlas-1x-jj-xl280.5790/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/loup-de-guerre-not-2d2-4x-srm6-2x-mlas-1x-jj-xl280.5790/ invalid@example.com (enileph) enileph
Let's put it this way, unless maybe you want a LRM build, most builds on LG can be done better on a 2D2.
THIS, however, is different.
This is a specialized SRM24 bomber build. I have included more than enough ammo, but I am sure you can tune it to your liking, probably adding a few JJ or changing the energy weapon around a bit.

This is the one I am using with XL300. The extra speed is good. The ammo is ok for the most part, since the consumption is slower when you lose your arms, which is going to happen late round.
Feel free to take out armor for DHS if you need it. I am fine with this, just don't spam your MLas as much.


Need For Speed Edition. Probably only good after speed tweak. Getting there. No JJ though.

Hail Lord Megatron!

Ok here is the build, big right arm laser cannon and (yes I know Megatron doesn't have missiles but I wanted the build to be playable for fun at least) some SRMs since we know this awesome Decepticon leader wouldn't mind getting up close and personal.

This one is based on my Golden Boy Butthole build minus one laser and missile hard point but is does jump. Many times while hosing down the red team in the Butthole I've wanted to jump, well this one does.

I made a choice to carry 2 MLAS instead of one and a TAG. My thinking is that I'd rather have a little extra pewpew to chase off any lights. Plus exposing long enough for TAG to do it's work right now with the Clan Alphas is pretty rough. After it's mastered I might see if I can finagle the tonnage to go with 1 LLAS and tag.

Set one button to fire the lasers, one to hose, one to alpha the LRM's, and you're set to play. This one carries a lot of ammo so you should still be hosing red team even in late game. Heat has not been any problem with this one.

I do notice the one less laser and missile hard point in play but it's not crippling. The LdB is a long...

first time posting. Just bought the TBT-LG, I've had some small success with this build. It runs a bit hot, but manageable.

Use the ERPPC at range and the streaks when the lights inevitably come to get you.

Any feedback would be welcome.

Thanks

Fairly self explanatory, you shoot the SRMs and have the Medium Lasers as backup weapons. You walk at a brisk pace of 105/115 KP/H, meaning that you can dash around and splash your SRMs all over the enemy 'Mech. Fun.

Never piloted a treb so this is really a theory build for a support brawler. Fast enough to move in and out of engagement, hefty punch with 2x LPLas and SRMs to finish em off. Having the weapons on fully articulated arms makes placing the damage where its needed easier.

I'm sure it runs hotter than hell with only the engine DHS to cool the twin LPLas. Alternatively drop to (ER)LLas and use the tonnage for more heatsinks, max armor, more JJ, etc. (ER)LLas would require more time on target to deal damage however.

(ER)PPCs are a direct swap in for LPLas if you're more comfortable in a ranged fire support role.

Doubt I'll get one as my SHD-2D2 pretty much does the same thing. Maybe if its on sale and I'm looking to grind out another chassis.]]> Wed, 21 May 2014 03:05:13 +0000 https://mechspecs.com/threads/loup-de-guerre-dedicated-lrm-2x-lrm15-a-2x-jj-tag-bap-xl255.5783/ https://mechspecs.com/threads/loup-de-guerre-dedicated-lrm-2x-lrm15-a-2x-jj-tag-bap-xl255.5783/ invalid@example.com (spudbuddy) spudbuddy

groundwork/foundation for LRMing in this robit. Feel free to drop jump jets/ammo to put armor up in arms and equip some lasers, or drop the LRM 15s to 10s and the tag to equip large lasers etc., you have options here. I personally drop lasers for more LRM ammo/jump jets since there's only 2 energy slots and they're both in arms, I always run a zombie arm for survivability/sustainability reasons so I didn't care too much about running 1 medium or 1 large, I just compensated by adding mobility/ammunition with jump jets and alrms all over.

when in danger torso twist to the right and aim up and down to use your left arm to block shots to more vital body parts.
make sure to stay behind cover/teammates and jump jet/tag to get quick LRM volleys out, you're in a 50 tonner you won't survive fire exchange with heavier robots without losing body parts/getting wrecked.

be around teammates.
melt assaults/heavies.
avoid lights,...
